Workers and residents in communities surrounding industrial facilities where EHSs are manufactured, used, or stored and in communities along the nation's railways and highways are potentially at risk of being exposed to airborne EHSs during accidental releases or intentional releases by terrorists. Pursuant to the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has identified approximately 400 EHSs on the basis of acute lethality data in rodents.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs part of its efforts to develop acute exposure guideline levels for EHSs, EPA and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) in 1991 requested that the National Research Council (NRC) develop guidelines for establishing such levels. In response to that request, the NRC published \u003ci\u003eGuidelines for Developing Community Emergency Exposure Levels for Hazardous Substances\u003c\/i\u003e in 1993. Subsequently, \u003ci\u003eStandard Operating Procedures for Developing Acute Exposure Guideline Levels for Hazardous Substances\u003c\/i\u003e was published in 2001, providing updated procedures, methodologies, and other guidelines used by the National Advisory Committee (NAC) on Acute Exposure Guideline Levels for Hazardous Substances and the Committee on Acute Exposure Guideline Levels (AEGLs) in developing the AEGL values. In 1998, EPA and DOD requested that the NRC independently review the AEGLs developed by NAC. In response to that request, the NRC organized within its Committee on Toxicology (COT) the Committee on Acute Exposure Guideline Levels, which prepared this report.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcute Exposure Guideline Levels for Selected Airborne Chemicals\u003c\/i\u003e is the tenth volume of the series and documents for N, N-dimethylformamide, jet propellant fuels 5 and 8, methyl ethyl ketone, perchloromethyl mercaptan, phosphorus oxychloride, phosphorus trichloride, and sulfuryl chloride.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e National Research Council,Division on Earth and Life Studies,Board on Environmental Studies and Toxic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309219876\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309219877\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/28\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"National Research Council","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48064840794367,"sku":"9780309219877","price":66.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ec0293ea-3088-4367-b25f-3481dccdd276.jpg?v=1768671386","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/acute-exposure-guideline-levels-for-national-research-council-9780309219877","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
